Just another quick update.

Ive been experimenting with adding the seams etc and also threw in a quick target spot light to cast some shadows on the mesh



What do you think?

do it half white and it could be the RAT

[Burnard]

Noooo, brown


all i can say is DUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

put it this way, your 3D mini has less panels missing than my real one does right now

Well another update

Ive corrected the door skin now, still need to add the door handle and build the door up internally and add external hinges etc

Also added some mockup wheels and bumper / spotlamps just to see how it looks

That looks better, I thought the contours between the bonnet and wing looked to deep but not in the latest update so probably just the lighting if there was no ambient.

[liam_italian]

Well it took a while but Ive got back to working on the mini mesh now, finally got the last seams done aswell. The seams for the wings and bonnet where a nightmare as I get getting mesh errors so I had to do alot of tweaking etc.



Just got to do the roof panel and then ill move and to doing the headlamps and grille etc

Its amazing mate. I recently got 3DSmax and have been working on trying to get used to it. Nowhere near this level though!

[liam_italian]

[captainjack15]

Lol... Doors are just a skin at the moment, still got to build the internals for them yet.

Ive started work on a front grille, im pleased with it so far, just a few tweaks left.
Im going to redo the headlamps and bumpers next



Anyone like to suggest which works car I should do first?

[dougie1142]

Im gonna go to the workship and bring a headlight into the house so I can copy the lens pattern into photoshop and use it as a bump map to get it to look right!

[liam_italian]

Well ive redone the headlamp bump map now, not sure if im happy with the top half of it tho, lines look a little too close together

What do you think?




Second picture shows the headlamp skin with different settings?

Which do you prefer?

[liam_italian]

ok I changed the top of the headlamp bump map now so that it has a few less lines, I think its much better now!
